Summer fun - Stampin' Friends June Blog Hop

6/18/2020

I'm excited to be hopping with the Stampin' Friends again! The theme this month is: What's Going On. Here in the US, that means Summer! So, I have a group of cards and a covered notebook featuring the Whale of a Time Suite. I love all of the images of the ocean and the colors. To me, the suite screams summer. I hope after you have looked at all of my projects, you'll continue to on to Kim Quade's blog and then through the rest of the hop. A complete list of artists can be found at the bottom.

The colors in the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper are so pretty and bright. This was the first suite in the new catalog that jumped out to me and made my heart sing. I just love it! In addition to the stamp set and paper, the suite includes the Whale Builder punch, the Seabed 3D embossing folder, a roll of Pool Party ribbon, and a package of sparkly sequins.

Sea Turtle Notebook:
One of my favorite projects to make is a covered notebook. I have made a number of these over the years. I have tried in the past to keep a bullet journal and just couldn't keep up with the artwork. But, the idea of just keeping an agenda where you write things down and go from one page to the next has stuck with me. I'm horrible at keeping planners and have had to throw away so many that were only a quarter full - or less - at the end of the year. Now, I keep one of these covered notebooks and I make notes and lists as I go. I add calendars when I need them and mark important pages with a little washi tape on the edges. They are perfect!

These notebooks are so easy to make and are a great way to showcase your favorite Designer Series Paper. 
Notebook Dimensions:
Just Jade cardstock (cover) : (2) pieces 7" x 9 13/16"
Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (spine): 3 1/4" x 9 13/16"
Pretty Peacock cardstock (cover strip): 1/2" x 9 13/16"
Whale of a Time DSP (layer): 5" x 5"
Whale of a Time DSP (Turtle): approximately 2 5/8" x 2 5/8"
Just Jade cardstock (layer): 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"

I made three cards for today's post, but I feel like I could make dozens more! I'm sure you'll see many more cards with the Whale of a Time Suite this year.

Birthday Fishes:
My first card uses the Seabed 3D embossing folder on a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock set off by a Calyspo Coral mat. I used multiple colors of ink on the pieces of coral for the main image to get even more color.
Card Dimensions:
Blackberry Bliss (card base): 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Blackberry Bliss (card front): 3 3/4" x 5"
Calypso Coral (layer): 3 15/16" x 5 3/16"
Whisper White (greeting): 3 1/8" x 1 3/4"
Calypso Coral (greeting layer): 3 1/4" x 1 15/16"
​Whale of a Time DSP: 1" x 5"

I love this whale card. The waves are part of the Designer Series Paper. I carefully cut along the edge of one wave to slip the whale underneath. The whale was punched from another piece of the DSP using the Whale Builder punch. The whale's spout is punched with the punch as well from some scraps of the DSP. I added Shimmery Crystal Effects to give it a wet look. For a little extra, I added a few sequins to look like additional water droplets. It doesn't show in the photo, but I also went along the edges of the waves with my Wink of Stella marker to give it a little shimmer. 
Card Dimensions:
Blackberry Bliss (card base): 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Pool Party (card front): 3 3/4" x 5 1/4"
Whale of a Time DSP: 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" plus scraps
Whisper White (greeting): 3/4" x 2 1/2"

Seahorse Love:
For my final card, I embossed a piece of the Whale of a Time DSP with the Seabed 3D embossing folder. I stamped the greeting with Pretty Peacock ink and added hearts with Just Jade ink.

Cardstock Dimensions:
Just Jade (card base): 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Pretty Peacock (layer): 3 15/16" x 5 3/16"
Just Jade (layer): 3 3/4" x 5"
​Whale of a Time DSP: 2" x 3 3/4"

Just watched your notebook video! I have never thought of using Mod Podge on these notebooks. Great idea and I love the shiny look when it's done.

It makes it very durable. I used a glossy Mod-Podge, but I'm pretty sure you can get a matte one as well if you want less shine.

I too love notebooks and journals and tried bullet journaling...just can't keep up with any of it. However, if I had a journal that looked like what created It would be with me 24/7! It is beautiful and really does showcase SU's DSP amazingly. Uggh, more things to add to my wish list. Thanks for sharing your amazing projects.

Thank you so much! I'd love to do all the fancy bullet journaling art, but I just can't seem to find the time. But, I love having a pretty place to store ideas - even if the inside isn't nearly as nice as the outside!
